Social Distortion: Recordings Between Then and Now


"I saw Mike Ness on TV and I said 'This is the perfect blend of everything my mom played for me The Who, the Stones, Dylan and punk stuff I was getting into'."

Brian Fallon, The Gaslight Anthem (Rolling Stone, April 2010)
That quote reminded me of the impact of Social D. on this generation of punks (in the school where I teach there's always a cadre of fans) in general and The Gaslight Anthem, whose legitimate debt to Springsteen is as over-stated as their debt to Ness & co. is under-stated (when I saw them on the '59 Sound tour they had a Social D. song as their intro music) in specific.



So for our last rarities bootleg, here's the spookily-real looking Recordings Between Then and Now, which while it does contain some overlap with previously posted bootlegs, it worth hearing on its own merits.

  5. "Chicago of the North!" Very funny! I'm in Victoria... I missed the last Social D show here kind of on purpose because they played in a sit down venue and I just couldn't stand to see them in such conditions. It's not really a punk show unless I'm standing there with a beer in my hand!
    Thanks again for the boots!

  6. "Victoria" a little bit of England was it's old designation at one time wasn't it?
    Yeah they did play at a sit down venue here too but I stood up front and enjoyed the whole damn thing.
